Media Servers And Port Scans

I have Plex Media Server installed on my computer, and I access it through my PS3. Problem is, when I try to play a video, BitDefender detects it as a port scan and blocks it. The simplest solution would just be to disable blocking port scans, but I'd rather create some kind of exception for my PS3's IP address, but I'm not sure how to do that. Anyone have any tips?

Several people have had this same problem myself as well. There is still no solution that anyone has suggested that has worked, the only thing I can do is shutdown my firewall when streaming movies (not the ideal solution) but it's the only thing that works flawlessly.

I dont know about the original authors of this post but i am still having this issue. When i look at internet activity log BD is blocking for stealth and udp traffic. This is the only forum i found about plex. Is there any other ideas about this. I have latest version.

If Bitdefender have the feature to create Firewall Rule for Ports only regardless of the application, then the issue may temporarily resolved unless the bug in the port scanning technique(s) are rectified, but unfortunately Bitdefender lacks in such feature. So you have to wait for rectification for this Flase +ve Port Scan attempt.

I'm having this problem with the latest Plex Media Server, and Plex Google TV (GTV) Client, and the latest BDIS2013 and confirmed the build number is the same as the previous post. Even disabling port scans doesn't fix it; after about a minute or so of trying to watch a streaming movie on the GTV c client, the movie freezes. It doesn't matter where in the movie I try to start from, and the only way out of the freeze is to back all the way out of the movie. Any solution? This seems to be a major issue if BD blocks streaming on home media servers, since streaming is the new rage. My only option if this isn't rectified soon is total removal of BD and to try a competing suite, which I'd prefer not to do.

I have been researching TCP port scan detected for over a year I now have version 16.31 which is past the 16.24 version you state. I attempted to file a report and upload the information, but the site will not take it. This interferes with daily activities and is a constant hindrance to any videos. I've noticed a lot of complaints on TCP port scan, but no one has reported a solution. I know port scan may not be a hack, but the firewall should not have 60 some events daily on this issue.
